2009 Christmas Eve/Day Snowstorm in Kansas City

On Christmas Eve of 2009 a winter storm developed that rocked Kansas City and pretty much the whole middle of the country. Kansas City was put under a Blizzard Warning which I can't recall if that's ever happened before. I went out with my Flipcam a few different time to get some images from the storm. My 2nd time outside was probably the most dramatic since the snow made the visibility so low. It was a dream for snow lovers and a nightmare for snow haters but was amazing either way.

Best Christmas ever!!! :D I want another one just like that one!!! Just so you know, when you first started talking I was like "Oh my gosh its Nicolas Cage!!!!" ;)

@electragoob I agree... I thoroughly enjoyed that storm. I know it came at a bad time for a lot of people but I had nowhere to go anyway. And you're the 2nd person who has commented saying I sound like Nicolas Cage. :-)

[RickXTN]

@RickXTN By the way... the other comment about sounding like Cage was when I shared the video on a website.

Those look like the Kendallwood Apartments, which I'm just north of by maybe a mile-and-a-half.... Weird.

@AudioVisualMatter Actually this was recorded by the Knollwood Apartments on Vivion.

Everybody in northwestern Missouri (coincidentally where I live) will want me lynched for this, but damn I miss this winter.

[RickXTN]

@NashvilleKildCountry I'm with you. For weeks when it's a bit too warm for my liking (low 80s or higher) I'll tell people, "What I wouldn't give for some snow about now." Most people look at me like I'm crazy but winter, in terms of weather, is my favorite season of the year BY FAR.

@DjHardaFasta

Absolutely correct! You're smart!

[DjHardaFasta]

@vancouvermild no because white rock is probably on the west coast with the influence of the pacific.

@RickXTN

Did you know that a city in Canada (White Rock) NORMALLY enjoys MUCH, MUCH milder winters than Kansas City. For your reference, its winters are also much milder than Oklahoma City. Surprised?
